Episode 58: Odili Donald Odita's Cut (2016)
“I am commenting on the display of difference, and how differences can be coexistent.”
Betcha never realized how deeply color colored your world – and the world – until you found yourself dancing down the diagonal of this showstopping print by Odili Donald Odita. Odita, a Nigerian-American printmaker and muralist, and a dear friend to Philadelphia's Brandywine Workshop, is one of the many artists featured in the exhibition "Prints from the Brandywine Workshop and Archives: Creative Communities," which is on view at the Harvard Art Museums until the end of July 2022. Walk through this diversity of prints and be amazed at how many artists there are in the world, and how many more are being created every day.
And in the meantime, this episode is best listened to with sunglasses.
